My username is pointless. I needed a username for the boards and it said the username "Brandon" was taken. I couldn\'t think of anything, so I dug through my cd collection, came across one of my favorite Ani Difranco cds and the title of it is "Living in Clip".

Women say I\'m nice and very gentlemanly. I just wanted some booty, really. Now that I\'m engaged.....that name should no longer apply. It\'s more like pussy-whipped Joe. :p

As for shockwaves, there was an add for http://www.shockwave.com on a site when I was trying to think of a user name for an online game years ago. I just ripped off the ad, and have used it ever since.

Post by: SonyFan on July 31, 2002, 07:40:44 PM: My name\'s Jim

I don\'t think my username needs explaining.. I was a fan of the PSX so I used that name when I signed up over at PS2k.net. I would have changed it.. it makes it easy to spot ignorant fanboys who are jus on a witchhunt since the first thing they look at is my username and assume I\'m closeminded and a Sony whore.

Been thinking of changing it to Sinue or Telsa lately tho. Those are my online handles. Tes comes from a QFG character I made once.. one of my favorites. Sinue is jus coldblooded sounding, I got it from reading about Native Americans who\'d stick pieces of bone under their man-nipples and tie Sinue to it.. then hoist themselves up about 10 foot off the ground until either the skin on their chest ripped out or they had a vision.

Vapor Snake... *sigh, i\'ve explained this alot*.... A good while before MGS2 was created a friend brought up that the new possible "bad guy" for MGS2 could consist of Vapor. This made sense considering there was already a Solid and Liquid Snake. And Gas Snake sound stupid so we made the name Vapor Snake.

Post by: 182Ways on July 31, 2002, 11:05:29 PM: Aha! I remember you from PS2k.net, SonyFan.

My real name\'s Mike.

The story behind my screen name: Back when I first got home access to the \'net (I came in a little late), I began searching for PS2 sites to ease my anxiety in waiting for the console to get here. I first found PS2k.net. I stuck with the site because they had screenshots of the launch games and they looked damn cool. Eventually I became interested in the site\'s News Comments section, which was a never-ending warzone between zealots of all shapes and sizes; Cheeseboy being my personal favorite. :p So I decided to register in order to get me a piece of the action and/or express my opinions on the news articles, but I didn\'t want to start out with some lame screen name that people wouldn\'t remember: It had to be unique. I spent about half an hour looking around the house for something that might spark an idea for a name, and soon enough I found my NeoGeo Pocket Color with The Match of the Millenium: SNK vs. Capcom inserted in its back. I started playing and shortly after my eye caught something on the screen: "182Ways," which is the name of a technique performed by Kyo Kusanagi of King of Fighters fame. I thought it was neat, so I typed it into the name field on PS2k.net\'s registration page and clicked the "Ok" button. That\'s how it started.

Post by: SonyFan on July 31, 2002, 11:47:03 PM: Oh my god... I almost forgot about Cheeseboy. Jeesus that was a long time ago. He was a nut alright. There was another lil Sega zelot named PlaySaturn2 I really hated. Used to fight with him all the time, and didn\'t see much of him when I started postin here. Had a couplla tiffs with him over NintenDose\'s forum before they shut down.

The worst over there had to be Mike Rowsoft and the infamous Next Genner. Remember when they used to clone people\'s names and make homosexual comments in the feedback section. Ugh. Worst Forum Ever.

I actually chose Samwise because I saw a guy here called Frodo. :)

No, it\'s Gravija. But, considering the similarities of both names, I can see how it could be mistaken.

Post by: Titan on August 01, 2002, 12:51:49 PM: My real name is Chris.

The origin of my screen name. I was reading a book on our solar system and I saw Titan in there. It\'s a moon orbiting Saturn (I think. Saturn or Jupiter, I don\'t remember). Also, there is thought to be life on this moon. It has all the atmospheric conditions to sustain life. I also thought of the Titans in Greek mythology. That and Titan just sounded cool.

Post by: on August 01, 2002, 04:03:48 PM: Well one day I was reading one of my favorite Harlequin romance novels, and there was this heroine named Sara. She would travel all over the world and meet many many handsome, sexy men, who coined cute little nicknames for her naughty parts, like rose petal, love crevice, and honey spot. All the while, she would solve mysteries for dysfunctional millionaire families with unscrupulous butlers and attention-deficit, plotting step-children.

Ah, I\'m just bullshitting.

My name is Sara.
